I put a feeder in my yard mid June. Three hours after hanging it a hummingbird appeared. It or they came back the next day and I set up a tripod and got these pictures. The birds came to the feeder for a total of about a week. They then disappeared and I have had none come back since.

I am unable to Identify No2. No1 looks like a female Ruby Throated but I am unsure. Any help with ID will be appreciated.

Hey Lou,
I'm no expert on humming birds but, I think these are both Black chinned Hummers. The females are next to impossible to tell apart from the Ruby Throated. The male here is lacking the purple on the collar but, sometimes it doesn't show. these are great pix, better than a lot I've seen!

Patty - When I lived in California we had a several large Hibiscus bushes at our house. We had Hummingbirds there all the time. Guess what? I just planted a hibiscus bush next to my feeder to help attract more. Hope it works.

GW - My Peterson Field Guide tells me there are only two Hummingbirds in MA The Ruby Throated and the Rufous. I looked on line at the Black Chinned and it is a western species. If that was a Black Chinned at my feeder he was flying the wrong VOR or was blown off course somewhere. I'm stilled perplexed? Maby somone else will chime in with another thought.
